Style Glossary: Paperbag Pants

High-waist pants that have a gathered waistband, usually tied by a sash or belt made of the same fabric. The term originated because this new style of pant looks like the top of a paper bag. Skirts can also have the same paperbag-like detail. The moniker isn't appealing, but paperbag pants look great on tall girls who seek a comfortable androgynous look.

oh and i was lying, these pants are hideous. honestly, this is fashion? i'm disappointed. this is why i dont get involved with this kind of crap. But dont get me wrong, if i ever wanted to walk down the street looking like a stripper hobo i would buy you, paperbag pants.
